Wanted. HSGS needs a copy of the HSGS Newsletter for November 2004.

HSGS is moving into separate room in the Parks Public Library. We will have slightly more bookshelves, but the other aspects of space are about the same. The new room will give us much more privacy than sitting in an open room adjacent to five public Internet computers and the library desk. All items are moved into the new room except one file cabinet. Now comes the final organization, which may take a month or two.
